Environmental Conservation Efforts - Project Aware in Montreal

Here at Action Scuba Montreal, we love Project AWARE. This fantastic organisation has been helping protect our planet and our marine environment for many years, and we`re proud to be a part of this movement.

We are very proud to announce that as of January 27, 2012, Action Scuba has become the FIRST dive centre in Canada to join Project AWARE`s 100% Aware program, meaning that for every scuba student who completes a recreational scuba diving course with us, we will donate $10 to Project AWARE.Learn more about this news here. You can also learn more on the Project AWARE website.

We regularly organise several activities in support of Project AWARE`s efforts, including:

As part of our partnership with Project AWARE, we also recently hosted Finn, Project AWARE`s own shark ambassador, as he toured the world promoting shark protection.

We are pleased to have been selected by Project AWARE as one of the few global dive centres (and the only Canadian centre!) to be visited by Finn. This underscores our special relationship with this great organisation.

If you also care about the marine environment, why not show your support for Project Aware? Join us for one of our environmental activities this year.

We also have a limited number of Project AWARE bumper stickers and temporary tattoos in store. Stop by, make a small donation of any amount of your choosing to the cause, and pick up a sticker!

[quote]I was always interested in diving and finally decided that it was time to make my dreams come to life. I was lucky enougth to walk through the doors of Action Scuba and was greeted with a smile and a nice hello. The staff was patient and never made feel like I was asking stupid questions. I will only take my courses at Action Scuba for several reasons and I always recommend Action Scuba to anyone who is interested in diving for the safety, fun, and staff.[/quote]

[quote]The staff at Action Scuba were so warm and welcoming to me when I decided I wanted to learn how to scuba dive. From answering all my questions before the open water course, to helping me select my gear, to organizing dive trips - they've been fantastic. What an amazing experience to get my advanced open water certification in the waters off Little Cayman...with Action Scuba. Can't wait for the next trip! [/quote]

[quote]Last year I decided to get back into diving after about 15 years of not diving and I have to say that the whole team at Action Scuba has made the experience more than pleasurable, with their care and attention to details, their patience with never-ending questions on my part and just the sheer joy of talking diving with them. I would highly recommend Action Scuba to anyone interested in getting into diving or to continue their diving. [/quote]

[quote]As soon as our son Sam turned 12, he got certified with Action Scuba. Then we promised him we'll do our Advanced together and we did...but we didn't stop there. Now we're Master scuba divers and part of the Action family, and Sam has joined the Action team. We're looking forward to many more dives with the crew at Action. If you are looking for a family activity with adventure and excitement, fun people and amazing wildlife, learn to dive. You won't regret it![/quote][author]Karen Skinner[/author]

[quote]I wanted to thank every Action Scuba staff member and acknowledge the incredible team effort we witnessed last weekend. What a wonderful experience it was! Special thanks to Michel Genest who made my son believe he could do it. I will wear my Action Scuba logo proudly!! : ))[/quote]

[quote]I recently arrived in Montreal and was fortunate to come across Action Scuba in my search for dive opportunities. I recently completed the Rescue Diver Course and am delighted in the quality and caliber of the instruction and guidance I received from the Action Scuba Team. The course far exceeded my expectations, and I am now looking forward to commencing training for the Divemaster qualification with Action Scuba. I would recommend Action Scuba to any diver or prospective diver looking for a full service dive center staffed with the highest quality Instructors and Divemasters.[/quote]

One will look far and wide to find a scuba shop, actually a family, that will care for you with expert advise and equipment, all the while with a level of commitment and caring like Action scuba.

[quote]If you want to take up scuba diving. Then this is the school for you! I just finish my open water diver course this past weekend. All I can say is this, from the instructors in the pool to the instructors in the open water , the staff at the store and the owner Gary are so supportive. There is no rushing you, when you are ready, you dive. They will never leave you on your own. Safety is #1,and having fun. I had a great time and could not have had better instructors then I did. So come and give it a try at Action Scuba. I highly recommend them.[/quote]
